In business, it makes more sense to speak in the plural of specialized “Artificial Intelligences” rather than a single AI, although for most users their first experience was with the popular form of generalist AI, thanks to the enourmous success of chatGPT.

This is precisely why it is useful on a cultural and educational level to provide an overview of the wide range of technologies and applications of Artificial Intelligence.

These are resources now available to the public, businesses and schools, but their use involves appropriate skills and methodologies.

Specialized Artificial Intelligence, declined in its many forms, has for years underpinned features we encounter in various programs and is the dominant component of applications of economic interest.

The integration of “vertical” AI into industry will be a critical factor in unlocking greater productivity in the future. On the other hand, there are already clear signs that AI will revolutionize a variety of industries.
